The document discusses a European meeting focused on promoting cereal biodiversity, particularly local and old wheat varieties, aimed at enhancing organic farming practices. Scheduled from June 12-14, 2013, the event includes workshops, field observations, and public tastings to facilitate knowledge exchange among farmers, bakers, and scientists from various countries. The initiative seeks to address the cultivation challenges posed by these varieties and improve the connection between producers and consumers.

Why an European meeting on cereals? Across Europe we are seeing increased interest for cereal varieties suitable for organic and low-input farming systems, whose nutritional qualities are enhanced by traditional processing systems. Local varieties, old varieties and new populations are the basis from which farmers, bakers and pastamakers reconstruct the whole cereal chain in close connection with consumers. But what problems bring with them these varieties? How are they cultivated? What techniques are best suited to their technological features? How do access to their seeds and reproduce them on the farm? How to improve them to be more suitable for di鍖erent growing conditions? This meeting aims to answer these questions, creating a moment of knowledge exchange between the various experiences. The goal is to reconstruct the knowledge related to the cultivation and processing of these varieties. Lets Cultivate Diversity arises within the European Coordination Lets Liberate Diversity! www.liberatediversity.org and that of Peccioli is the second edition a*er the meeting organized in 2009 in France by the Reseau Semences Paysannes. The meeting will be divided into two parts: from 12th to 14th June participants will work in thematic workshops and in the 鍖eld observing the varieties. The 15th of June there will be an open day to the public, which will test the bread and pasta made in the past days, participate in some processing workshops and touch with hands the diversity of the 鍖eld catalog. Participants are farmers, bakers, pastamakers, technicians and scientists from Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Bulgaria, Hungary, Iran, United Kingdom, Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania. What is going on during the meeting Workshops on bread, pasta, pizza, biscuit and taralli Exchange of experiences on new and alternative wheat food chain Field visits to the collection Tasting of the di鍖erent products Workshops on participatory plant breeding How to participate 12-14 June: participation fee: 120, including meals and accommodation (only for non-italian people) Please contact info@semirurali.net for information or to con鍖rm your participation. We will book accommodation for you (B&B or Camping according to your needs) 15 June: free entrance, con鍖rm the participation to info@semirurali.net
